About
Puerto Rican composer (1896 - December 11th, 1965). Rafael Hernández Marín started playing trombone, and later violin, trumpet, contrabass and guitar. In 1919 he moved to Havana where he played on some orchestras. He also worked in USA and Mexico (left New York for Mexico in 1937). He composed such famous tracks as “Capullito de Alhelí”, “Preciosa”, “Lamento Borincano” and “El Cumbanchero”.
Although often credited with the same name, this is not the same artist as Rafael Hernandez, from Cuba.
